Abstract
Chylothorax is the presence of chyle in the pleural space, which can occur with any disruption of the thoracic duct or its main tributaries. Here we describe the case of a 64-year-old nonsmoking woman who presented with shortness of breath and had findings of a massive right-sided chylous pleural effusion. She was subsequently diagnosed with high-grade follicular lymphoma and had chest tube placement and rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone therapy with complete response.
